Title

Anti-GMO website promotes new conspiracy theory linking GMOs with supposed campaign to ‘eliminate Africans.

Summary

The article examines the propagation of a conspiracy theory by anti-GMO activists, which falsely portrays RNA interference (RNAi) as a means of controlling populations, with a specific focus on African Americans. It criticizes Mike Adams from NaturalNews for endorsing this and other fringe ideas, emphasizing his extreme positions on various unrelated subjects. Although Adams’ views are controversial, his substantial online following suggests that his radical perspectives continue to shape the broader anti-GMO movement.
